The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

16. CONNECTING TO THE ORGANIC.EDUNET
NETWORK GUIDES
Information on “How to connect” is available
through a Wiki page:
http://wiki.agroknow.gr/organic_edunet/index.php/Main_Page
18. 3 WAYS TO CONNECT TO ORGANIC.EDUNET
1. Harvesting of metadata
example: existing and new collections in Confolio
harvested through an OAI-PMH target
existence of various sets, that may be harvested
individually
Metadata records are validated and harvested
1. Ingestion of metadata
example: content from social sources
XML files retrieved indirectly from
YouTube/Flickr/Slideshare etc. & ingested in compliant
tools (Confolio, AgLR)
Metadata records are validated and harvested
1. Creation of metadata
Example: not organized collections / individuals
Use of AgLR/Confolio for the creation of metadata records
Metadata records are validated and harvested
19. 1. HARVESTING OF METADATA
Usually the easiest way of content
integration
Exposure of metadata through an OAI-PMH
target
Validationof OAI-PMH target -> Validation service
Metadata validation -> Metadata validation service
Metadata mapping might be required
Currently manual mapping
Use of (Ag)Mint is planned
20. 1. HARVESTING OF METADATA:
WORKFLOW
1. A content provider contacts Organic.Edunet
2. The appropriateness of the repository content is
checked against the Organic.Edunet Quality
Criteria
3. Basic information is requested from the content
provider in a registration form
4. The target is checked using the Organic.Edunet
validation service
5. The metadata structure is checked against the
Organic.Edunet IEEE LOM AP using the
Organic.Edunet metadata validation service
6. Metadata are harvested automatically
7. If mapping is needed, then the metadata
elements are manually mapped.
21. 2. INGESTION OF METADATA
In cases where harvesting is not an option
e.g. not supported by the tool, no tool available
Metadata need to be compatible with
Organic.Edunet IEEE LOM AP
Mapping may be required in some cases
Metadata need to be ingested in a
compatible tool and probably enriched
Example: The case of YouTube XML files
Content needs to meet the Organic.Edunet
Quality Criteria
22. 2. INGESTION OF METADATA:
WORKFLOW
1. A content provider contacts Organic.Edunet
2. The appropriateness of the repository content is
checked against the Organic.Edunet Quality
Criteria
3. Basic information is requested from the content
provider in a registration form
4. A sample number of metadata records (e.g. in xml
format) is checked using the Organic.Edunet
metadata validation service
5. Metadata are manually ingested
6. If mapping is needed, then the metadata elements
are manually mapped before ingestion.
7. In case of additional content, new manual ingestion
needs to take place
23. INGESTION VS HARVESTING
Trying to encourage content providers to
enable/support harvesting of their metadata records.
24. 3. CREATION OF METADATA
In cases where harvesting/ingestion is not
an option
e.g. offline collections, not digitized material etc.
Metadata records created from scratch
Fully compatible with Organic.Edunet IEEE LOM
AP if a compatible tool is used (AgLR / Confolio)
Mapping is needed in case of APs other than
Organic.Edunet IEEE LOM.
25. 3. CREATION OF METADATA:
WORKFLOW
1. Types of
Content locally stored Non-digitized Content
(e.g. hard disk) content New content
2. Creation of
metadata
Metadata Annotation Tool
3. Validation of
metadata
4. Publication
through
Organic.Edunet
Web portal
27. THE ORGANIC.EDUNET AP (1/2)
Based on the IEEE LOM AP, standard for
describing educational resources
Slightly modified in order to match better the
annotation of agricultural educational resources
Selectionof metadata elements
Changes in the status of elements (e.g. mandatory)
Introduction of required extensions
Multilingual AP: Currently available in 16
languages, including Arabic, Chinese & Hindi
Recently updated to a new version, reflecting
the requirements of the Organic.Lingua EU
project
28. THE ORGANIC.EDUNET AP (2/2)
The new Organic.Edunet AP is available at:
http://wiki.agroknow.gr/organic_lingua/Organic.Edunet_Metadata_
29. THE ORGANIC.EDUNET
ONTOLOGY
A conceptual model useful for classifying
learning materials on the Organic Agriculture
(OA) and Agroecology (AE) domain
Used in the Organic.Edunet web portal for the
semantic search
Recently revised in the context of the
Organic.Lingua project
31. ORGANIC.EDUNET – THE TOOLS
1. Confolio Repository Tool
Used by the Organic.Edunet consortium content providers as well as by
some of the new ones
Folder-based organization of records
Integrates the previous Organic.Edunet IEEE LOM AP (v2.0)
Multilingual user interface – currently available in 17 languages
1. Agricultural Learning Repository (AgLR) Tool
A tool developed by Agro-Know to support new content providers

Keywords)
Collection-based organization of records
Multilingual user interface – currently available in 10 languages
34. ABOUT THE TOOLS
All repository tools that can expose metadata
through an OAI-PMH target can be used
Metadata will be automatically harvested, after they
are mapped to the Organic.Edunet metadata AP
Repository tools that cannot expose metadata
through an OAI-PMH target can also be used
Metadata will have to be exported and then ingested
to a repository tool capable of exposing metadata
through OAI-PMH
36. 1. MULTILINGUALITY
